About this Download:
A lot can go wrong with Active Directory if you don't have a correctly configured DNS infrastructure. You can use DNSLint to ferret out many common DNS configuration problems, such as:
- A network interface with TCP/IP settings that do not point to an authoritative DNS server for the zone corresponding to the Active Directory domain.
- A DNS zone file that does not contain an alias (CNAME) record with the globally unique identifier (GUID) of each domain controller along with the Host (A) records that act as glue records.
- Lame delegations to child zones where the name servers (NS) specified for the delegation either do not have corresponding glue records or the servers do not respond.
- The DNS zone corresponding to a designated Active Directory domain does not contain the requisite Service Locator (SRV) records, including the _ldap service on TCP port 389, the _kerberos service on TCP and UDP port 88. Global catalog servers must have an SRV record for the _gc service on TCP port 3268.
- The PDC Emulator FSMO role master does not have an SRV record for the _ldap service advertised under _tcp.pdc._msdcs.domain.tld (where tld stands for top level domain, such as .com or .net).
